Selena Gomez is struggling hard to deal with the bitter comments she receives everyday online about her relationship with Justin Bieber.

The 18-year-old Disney princess, who has been on the verge of romantic relationship with the ‘Baby’ hit maker, feels ‘hurt’ when she reads nasty words online.

She said, "It's hard. It hurts, it really does. I don't feel like I'm doing anything wrong. I've been best friends with him for a very long time. It does hurt my feelings a lot but I try not to focus on it. I have a strong family and great fans".

However, the singer-actress admits she can understand why Bieber’s crazy fans don’t like her adding, "I have to agree with them sometimes. I loved Jesse McCartney. I was obsessed with him. He dated Katie Cassidy when he was 16 or 17. I hated her, absolutely hated her. I was mortified that he was with Katie and I wanted to be with him. He was my screen-saver! I just did a movie 'Monte Carlo' with Katie Cassidy and she was the nicest person ever".
